Yes, you must be admitted to UTSA in order to apply for the BCP.

Unfortunately, no. You must be admitted to a degree-seeking undergraduate or graduate level academic program in order to apply.

If you, the applicant, financially support yourself, or if you are supported by someone other than your parents, you must complete the application using your own financial information or a sponsor’s personal and financial information.

Some applicants may receive financial assistance with their college expenses from people other than their parents, for example, grandparents or other close relatives. This financial support information must be included in the application. You need to enter the personal and financial information for this other sponsor in the spaces provided on the application.

The applicant must submit a notarized letter from a bookkeeper or accountant reporting the annual gross income earned by you or your parents from the business, and the net worth of the business. The letter must be on official business letterhead.

Applications are reviewed for completeness, and the supporting documents are verified. A determination is then made as to whether or not a student shows the required need for tuition assistance. Before the start of the semester, UTSA will adjust students’ accounts so that charges are reflected at the in-state tuition rate for all approved Border County tuition-assistance recipients.

Fall applicants are eligible to pay Texas in-state tuition for one academic year, as long as you maintain all requirements for eligibility.
